The image displays an engraving portraying a man from the shoulders up, facing slightly left. He has a round face with a goatee and mustache, dark curly hair falling above his shoulders. He wears ornate attire with a large ruffled lace collar. The man is surrounded by an oval frame decorated with foliage, fruits, and vines. Cherubic figures are at the frame's base, with elaborate carvings and scrollwork in the background. A text panel below the portrait contains Latin inscriptions.
